about

This was inspired by National Folk Festival singing sessions when we had to gather sufficient critical mass to overpower the instruments in the session bar, usually at about 2 am. They were battles in a war which we conceded in 1998, retreating to the stairwell.
Chris Clarke

lyrics

Oh come all ye who carry songs
And have the voice to share them
They’re only songs, they right no wrongs
But tyrants do beware them

A song can carry all our grief
Our story and our laughter
So come and join your voice to ours
And we’ll be friends hereafter

So if you hear this call to song
Come up and join our number
Or else your voice and all your songs
Are lost in idle slumber

Come one and all who heed the call
And bring your voices’ power
Undying friends when singing ends
We’ll live no finer hour
